The weather is glorious with a temperature of 30°C in the shade as the 14th Monaco Grand Prix gets underway, commemorating the 50th race of the Formula 1 World Championship since its inauguration in 1950. The date is May 13, 1956, and the time is 2:45 PM.

Juan Manuel Fangio secured pole position in 1 min and 44 seconds, averaging 108.448 km/h, driving his Ferrari-Lancia D50 with the number 20. The starting grid consists of three cars per row, and the Argentine shares the front row with Stirling Moss in a Maserati and Eugenio Castellotti in a Ferrari, both also clocking a time of 1 min and 44 seconds (positions 6 and 9).

Just before the flag drops, Juan Manuel stalls, and it's a last-minute effort by Ferrari mechanics to restart his engine. Frustrated by the incident, the world champion doesn't get off to a great start, unlike Castellotti, who leaps ahead. The race spans 100 laps of the 3.145 km circuit and lasts for 3 hours, 32 seconds. Fangio sets the fastest lap, almost matching his qualifying time, but ultimately falls short to Moss.
